“Triple WIN” Strategy

At the Fragile Families NETWORK (FFN), we are pioneering a unique approach to student development through our “Triple Win” strategy. When a student chooses to volunteer with FFN, they not only build their personal and professional growth, they also enrich the lives of grandfamily members and strengthen the broader community. This integrative model ensures that students, grandfamily members, and the greater community benefit from the work of the Fragile Families NETWORK.

Why Choose FFN for Student Development Opportunities? FFN offers an unparalleled opportunity for students to apply their academic knowledge in the real-world  via hands-on, interdisciplinary projects. Our approach is designed to foster growth in three key areas:

Win for Students: Professional and Personal Growth & Development:
– Skill Enhancement: Students develop skills including project management, team collaboration, effective communication, and leadership—competencies highly valued in the professional world.
– Academic Application: Practical experiences with FFN allow students to apply theoretical knowledge from their studies in meaningful ways, deepening their understanding and competence.
– Career Advancement: Participation in FFN’s programs provides students with impressive credentials for their resumes, a professional network, and a portfolio of real achievements, giving them a competitive edge in the job market.

Win for Grandfamilies: Direct Support and Services:
– Enhanced Well-being: Students design and deliver programs that directly improve the quality of life for grandfamilies, providing them with crucial support and resources.
– Advocacy and Awareness: By raising awareness about the challenges faced by grandfamilies, students advocate for policy changes and increased support, helping to secure a better future for these families.

Win for the Community: Strengthening Social Fabric:
– Community Engagement: FFN projects encourage a stronger, more cohesive community by fostering understanding and cooperation among diverse groups.
– Resource Maximization: By effectively harnessing the energy and innovation of students, FFN maximizes community resources, delivering impactful services without overstretching local budgets.
– Sustainable Development: Student-led initiatives often introduce fresh ideas and sustainable practices into community development, ensuring long-term benefits.

The Fragile Families NETWORK (FFN) is more than a student development opportunity—it is a gateway to making a tangible difference while achieving personal growth.
